Good idea or not? It seems that most of the extra spots would go to Africa and Asia, with only about 3 likely to go to European teams.
I like the idea of more teams being involved, but not so much the 16 groups of 3 teams. I'd prefer 12 groups of four. It'd be crap to qualify only to potentially play just two games before going home.
Was great they upped the number of teams in the Euros, proved pretty successful and sure it helped us.

Not sure it would bother me that much playing 2 games in the group stages, except maybe there being more chance of fans getting to see at least one game would be increased with 12x4 with the right ticket allocation system?
